The OMB control numbers for the Commission's regulations were published on December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981).

Title: Information Management Requirements for Registration of Foreign Boards of Trade (OMB Control No. 3038-0101). This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: Section 738 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended section 4(b) of the Commodity Exchange Act to provide that the Commission may adopt rules and regulations requiring Foreign Boards of Trade (``FBOTs'') that wish to provide their members or other participants located in the United States with direct access to the FBOT's electronic trading and order matching system to register with the Commission. Pursuant to this authorization, the Commission adopted a final rule requiring FBOTs that wish to permit trading by direct access to provide certain information to the Commission in applications for registration and, once registered, to provide certain information to meet quarterly and annual reporting requirements. Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to range from 1000 hours for the submission of a new registration application to two to eight hours per response for submission of required reports. These estimates include the time to locate, compile, validate, and verify and disclose and to ensure such information is maintained. Respondents/Affected Entities: Foreign Boards of Trade. Estimated number of respondents: 27.\1\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ The Commission notes that the 60-day Notice addressing the proposed collection and comment request with respect to foreign board of trade registration contained a typographical error in that it reflected 271 as the estimated number of respondents. 80 FR 47476 (August 7, 2015).
